Challenges and difficulties reported by former members of scientific theater groups on the use of theater as a didactic tool

Abstract

The text discusses the use of theater as an educational tool, focusing in particular on science-themed theater for teaching chemistry. This method aims to make scientific concepts accessible through shows that combine art and pedagogy, promoting interactivity and creativity between students and teachers. The results of the research reveal that former members of science theater groups face significant challenges when implementing this methodology in schools, such as the demand for adequate time and resources. Despite the difficulties, scientific theater is recognized by the interviewees as a powerful way of enriching learning, stimulating both teaching and learning in a contextualized and dynamic way.
